It seems like you're experiencing ongoing discomfort and difficulty with your right side jaw, even after having your wisdom teeth removed six months ago. You mentioned feeling a fullness in your ears and experiencing more symptoms at night. It's good that you have already consulted with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and they suggested considering an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can be complex and can involve multiple factors. It's possible that your symptoms could be related to TMJ, but it's important to have a comprehensive evaluation to rule out other potential causes as well. An ENT specialist can help assess if there are any ear-related issues contributing to your symptoms.
In the meantime, you mentioned using hot packs and performing jaw exercises, which can help alleviate some TMJ discomfort. It's also a good idea to avoid chewing hard or tough foods and minimize consumption of spicy foods, as they can potentially aggravate your symptoms. Maintaining good posture and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial.I strongly recommend following the advice of your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and consulting with an ENT specialist. They will be able to provide you with a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment options based on your specific situation.
Next Steps
Visit your maxillofacial surgeon and get a TMJ Scan and CBCT done to rule out TMJ and Dental Issues.
